My Research paper

I think that for my research project I am going to choose to do something along the lines of the negatives that come along with technology in the classrooms.

This is interesting because I could not really think of anything interesting or debatable in the world of accounting. Also, seeing as how we are always updating technology and people are always buying it, there is a boatload of new information available.

This is a current topic that is specifically interesting to college kids, because so many universities around the world have started trying to use iPads or something else of the sort. However, I do strongly feel that technology in the classroom is a negative. It hurts kids more than helps when kids start to read things on the computer screen and give up looking at textbooks. In some cases they don't even have to buy them, they are included online.

Also, when technology is used there are plenty of statistics that prove that attention spans are lowered. This is because of the readily available websites and email addresses to check along with the latest tweet or face book status. Many people are also more prone to using copy and paste when there are millions of choices for a topic available in tenths of a second.

If anyone else has any other ideas for me let me know.

thanks,
Josh
